The inspiration behind this sweet treat came from a simultaneous craving for a yummy gooey blondie + banana bread. I decided to just throw in every ingredient that sounded delicious and wound up with one of the best treats I’ve ever had. It comes together so easily in just one bowl! You’ll be SO obsessed […]

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1 overripe banana, mashed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
  • 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1 cup all purpose flour (you can also use gluten free all purpose)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter cups, chopped (you could also use chocolate chips)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 8x8 square baking pan with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the butter and stir until foamy and browned. If the butter doesn’t start to brown after a few minutes, slowly increase the heat until it browns. Be careful not to burn it!

  3. 3

    Immediately take the butter off the heat and add to a large mixing bowl. Add in the brown sugar and whisk until combined. Add the banana and whisk into the mixture until combined. Add in the vanilla, peanut butter and egg and whisk again until smooth.

  4. 4

    Add the flour, salt, and baking soda and stir until just combined. Do not over mix.

  5. 5

    Fold in the chopped peanut butter cups until evenly mixed throughout.

  6. 6

    Pour the mixture into the baking pan, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the pan, and bake for about 30-35 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center is no longer jiggly.

  7. 7

    Let cool for at least 20 minutes (sorry) then cut into bars and serve!
